How it works
Clobajen Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Neomycin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stop using Clobajen Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue use of Clobajen Cream without first consulting your doctor. Use the prescribed dosage and duration for treatment. Usually, your condition will improve within a few days. If the condition worsens or does not improve within seven days, re-evaluation of treatment and diagnosis is necessary. However, if extended treatment is recommended, this should be done under medical supervision.
What precautions should I take while using Clobajen Cream?
Use Clobajen Cream carefully only over the affected area, avoiding contact with eyes. Do not apply a bandage or dressing to the treated area as this will increase absorption of the medicine and potentially elevate the risk of side effects. This medication is intended for the specific condition it is prescribed for. Do not use it for any other condition without consulting your doctor; do not share this medicine with others, even if their conditions appear similar.
How to use Clobajen Cream?
Clobajen Cream should be used as directed by your doctor or according to the label instructions. Apply a thin layer to cover the affected areas.

What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Clobajen Cream for long periods?

If your symptoms worsen, please consult your doctor for a reevaluation.
